2 Facts about Roller Coasters:
1: Nearly every roller coaster accident was the operators fault
2: If it gets stuck, its working properly
Yes
People don’t understand that rides valley and anti rollbacks exist
I went on a roller coaster once and it broke down on top I thought that was the last time I’d be seen alive. A few days after I went on another rollercoaster and lost my shoe but luckily I didn’t go get it because if I did I most likely would of being hit. I’d still go on rollercoasters though even though I seem to have bad luck with them.
I thought if it gets stuck, gravity is broken on the ride.
@@MrSupercar55 huh
A good friend of mine lost his little brother, on a coaster accident my senior year of high school. Rest in piece Patrick. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 24 years.
We all have problems mate
Rip🙏🙏🛐

Sad story m8
I'm sorry to hear that.
didnt mention the two girls that wanted to switch places mid ride. they held the safety bar down so the ride operator thought it was locked in place. the one girl fell from the ride. thats why they make you go hands up when they check.
Oof
Did she live
Their fault they were being dumb
thats straight up stupidity
@@theechosenone4471 I don’t think they did
One other sad thing about the last story, Calebs older brother saw the whole thing as he was waiting at the bottom for Caleb to get off of the ride.
how did u kno?W
@@user-qj5yt1pt5i I look it up and watched a lot of different videos on his death
@@SageTheEnby0 wow thx
I heard that the older brother was asking for help but wasn't understood because he was screaming soo loud. To think about this still makes me shudder
@@LuminalOwl ya it’s heart breaking.
Most of the time when people die at an amusement park it's because the people are careless or they take place at places that could barley qualify as an official amusement park. You are more likely to die on you way to the park than dying on an amusement ride. You are also more likely to be struck by lighting 3 times than to get a serious injury on a roller coaster.
This isn’t very comforting 😭
@@Karmmaa death is everywhere and inevitable. Sweet dreams
I Have heard of a man who was struck by lightening twice on two separate days, he survived.
I had barley pancakes once, not bad...
And the ones that died at the Six Flags/Disney usually have heart conditions or any number of physical aliments.
Keep in mind, you have a greater chance of dying on your way to the theme park, than you do at the park itself.
That might be true but it doesn’t make the families of the dead any less grieving. I remember watching the tv the day the accident at dreamworld happened, it’s the worst accident here since the one at Luna Park
True but I'd still say the coaster is worst still :(
Yeah right. Figure take all the mechanical rides, water rides, and then all the oeople. What are the odds of ride failures, drowning or electricution and then take people sneak guns or knives or bombs into park. Idk figure more ways go die at theme park then just a drive to the park
@@delsingray5923 I love roller coasters!
@@chrismurphy2649 your very ignorant about theme parks, and it shows
If Final Destination has taught me one thing, it's that Roller Coasters can be lethal
They are pretty safe but like everything accidents can happened
You’re at a higher risk of dying in a car accident than dying on a ride.
@@paraskep5080 yup
Only if you are either extremely negligent or you break several laws of physics like Final Destination does.
So after watching Final Destination you're pretty much afraid of roller coasters? I won't hold it against you but that's ridiculous.
This is one of the main reasons I was afraid of roller coasters when I was little. And I'm still afraid of them to this day. Not only because they're fast, I was scared that I could throw up, and sometimes my dad would tell me and my brother that we were going to ride one. He pretty much did that to scare us when we were kids.
oh come on, chicken
(this is a joke)
I have never been on one that goes upside down. I only went on one at Disneyland and it gave me a heart attack. Never again...
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Amen brother.
Same
ill ride a rollar coaster but when it looks extreme than nah
Me : *likes roller coaster*
The Infographics Show : I'm about to do what's called, a pro gamer move
underrated
They're safe, you're more likely to die eating than get killed on a roller coaster.
Another thing about the smiler: rollercoaster rides are usually very safe when it comes to keeping trains from colliding. Normally, another train would be stopped before entering a section that is in use, but the ride operators manually over-rid the program that keeps crashes from happening, and therefore, the 2 trains crashed.
I'm sorry but that is not how a block system works on any modern rollercoaster. It is nowhere near as simple as you described to bypass or clear a block manually with a train existing. Which also isn't done by operators.
@@Rick01089 you have no idea what you are saying
@@zyuukii right... No idea at all. I've only spent 16 years as a mechanical supervisor for one of the bigger thrill Park companies out there and over 2 years now as a senior engineer for one of the other large thrill parks out there. But your right, not a clue what your talking about.
@@Rick01089 Bit this is exactly what happened
@@Rick01089 what was wrong about his description
I was suspecting the infamous Alton Towers incident appearing on this list. It’s something I’ll never forget, especially considering the sheer level of coverage it got when it first broke out and the circumstances discovered around it soon after.
Despite this and a whole load of other similar events, I don’t really fear rollercoasters or any high-velocity theme park rides, but rather the people working within the parks that slip the problems through the cracks whether they know about them or not.
The reason the crash at alton towers because one of the employees there released the cart with customers in when the empty carriage didn't make its way point. It was human error since the empty carriage never reached a particular point the carriage with customers should never have been released.
Yeah, and the system kept reporting the extra car on the rails and the humans kept overriding it.
All they had to do was go look for themselves and they would have saw the empty car instead overriding what the system was saying
Sounds more on the fault of the ride manufacture, a block being set up, shouldn’t allow anyone to dispatch without clearing the block and most manufacturers require someone to physically go to the block section to clear the block. Not to mention test cycles should of been preformed before guests were boarded
@@burnedupsparkytipsandrevie9597 they overrode the system. The mechanics of the ride functioned as they should have. The operators that day were just idiots
@@mister_vulgar the park I’m at maintenance can’t clear a block on a coaster with out physically going to the block section and pressing the clear block on both at the station and out in the field so again by passing a block should be impossible
I was at Great Adventure a week before the fire. The Haunted house was very dark and disorganized to say the least. We didn't go back to the park for like 2 years after that happened.
Only problem I had is the video makes it seem like the Haunted Castle at Great Adventure was a Roller Coaster. It was a walk thru ride.
I remember the smiler incident. I held an annual pass at time and there was a lot of worry among park goers but I went on the Smiler as soon as re-opened and its great. These are horrible accidents but they are very unlikely to happen to you
N-wordd pass?
@@shadowrulezzz nuggat
@@westside4372 n word pass?
I remember when my mum saw it on then news, and after hearing about it she didn't want me going on rollercoasters
@@jn.r they are safe it was operator error
Smiler was human error, the engineers didn't know the test car was still on the track and the safety systems in place stopped the ride and it was manually overridden.
I just went to Adventureland yesterday… so glad I didn’t see this before I left😭, Rest In Peace to everyone who had passed in these horrific ways. At least their last day on earth was fun❤️
Good thing that roller coasters very safe
I enjoyed the irl footage teamed with the animation!!
I worked at an amusement park. They ran the ride without people for three turns, then filled the seats with employees and ran it a few more. They said it was a job benefit. Never been a fan of roller coasters, I declined. A benefit? They are testing the rides. Not so sure if it was a benefit; it was one I never appreciated... We never had an accident, and our technicians were borderline obsessed. It was like a ship, they loved her. Best possible situation.
Literally going to Cedar Point for the first time tomorrow. Thanks for this. 😅

If you do your own research you'll find he left out a lot of information.
I live near Dreamworld where that accident happened in Australia. That ride is the slowest, most unassuming ride you could be on despite the word "Rapids" being in the name. It's not heart racing or anything, so it was absolutely shocking when that malfunction happened on a ride like that and killed those poor people. It was so shocking that First Responders had to be counselled and some ended up resigning from their jobs. So sad.
Just in time for National Rollercoaster Day 2021 today on August 16! Awesome coincidence! :D
Yes... coincidence...
Totally not planned at all
This should be a real thing for criminals as a death sentence.
*_I sentence you to roller coaster_*
Would be like a “ultimate amusement park entertainer execution” in danganronpa…
It's not for criminals, but there does exist a design for the "Euthanasia Coaster" for people who want to die. Obviously a suicoaster is unlikely to ever get approved to be built. 🤷
For anyone who really likes roller coaster stories, I recommend Fantastic Horror (who does fires, explosions, etc) and Defunctland (who does theme parks)
Fascinating Horror is another really good channel if you like stories along the lines of these ones
@@coreyelder-edwards2335 oops yeah that's what I meant, not Fantastic Horror
Yeah after watching Final Destination 3 I was never going on a roller coaster. After watching THIS, I’m still holding true to it
Final Destination 3's roller coaster death scene is physically impossible. Rollercoasters don't just fall apart like this. Rollercoasters are exceptionally safe, because they are held to strict standards to ensure people *don't* get hurt.
The majority of the cases on this very video are due to operator negligence.
@@TheNightmareRider still not going on one 😂
@@PUNISHERMHS_2021 ah mate you're missing out
@@b-chroniumproductions3177 maybe one day, I'll probably start with the Mummy ride at Universal.
To OP. Do you worry riding in a car? No?? Well, you're several thousands of times likely to be in a car crash. How many people die in a car crash every year? Theme park accidents are incredibly rare and happen once or twice every decade in any given country.
This needs a show on Netflix
DEFINITELY 💯😝
Hello
Search 1000 ways to die a show like this that already exist
There are documentaries for several of these.
When I was little I went on a wooden coaster with my family and instead of the over the shoulder restraints they have now, they had a single lap bar that the occupants of each seat shared. I was quite small for my age (~40 lbs) and the operator of the ride stupidly paired me up with my dad so the lap bar came nowhere near holding me in the seat. I was old enough to know right away this was really bad. So I grabbed on the upper bar as hard as I could (this bar wasn't a restraint, it was in front of you for something to hold on to to stabilise your upper body if you needed it). On the first drop, my lower half lifted out of the seat and over my head. If I didn't have a death grip on that bar I would have 100% fallen out (I basically did fall out but because of my grip I was still attached to the car). At the bottom of the drop, I slammed back drown into the seat which hurt a lot. My dad didn't see this happen and was just laughing because all he saw was that I was freaked out from a ride that I insisted on going on. Then the second drop came and this time my dad saw me start to lift out of the seat this time and managed to grab me when I was about halfway out and pull me back into the seat and basically sat on me for the rest of the ride to keep me pinned to the seat. Believe it or not I still love roller coasters and other amusement park rides and will even go on a wooden coaster (though they are definitely NOT my first choice).
That was OP error
Ok but the way he pronounced alton towers made me laugh.
Also you can only fit four people in each train on the smiler so there were only 3 or four in the front :)
For those that die on them rides R.I.P
For your families may god watch over your loves spirits
Let all lean something for this.
lean
Rip also the millions of people who die in car wrecks each year
Whoa, this is basically every Fascinating Horrors video in one lol
imagine seeing a head fall off at an execution and the head just says "ouch."
i don’t think anybody would say ouch after there head is cut off
A decapitated head can’t talk, as it has no voicebox or lungs to push air out of the throat and mouth. But there are a couple of very popular execution videos on gore sites that show the person’s eyes or mouth moving after they’ve been decapitated.
Wrong video...?
@@soyburglar77 maybe muscle reflex or something ?
Nope you still have control for about 11 seconds in your head ( probably less)
Huh. This morning I was just reading an article about roller coaster accidents
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
I love how he said Altan towers instead of Alton and the depiction of the ride had no inversions
I want to suggest a topic: What Happens when a Searching Party goes missing?
Of course, the regulations for those teams vary from country and state.

I remember when saw in the news that one roller coaster broke and killed one girl. She went very high in the air and then came crushing down. It happened more than 8 yrs ago but the place never recovered, every time I went there after the incident, the park gave me a weird and sad vibe, it was terrifying.
At-- 11: 50 -- The Haunted Castle at Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey.... I only went through that once and had a bad feeling about it and not long after that's when the fire took so many lives.
The park blamed it on teenagers useing a lighter to see but I don't belive that, I went through it and could see.
When I worked at Great Adventure in Jackson a few years latter in security and on stage and back stage stuff where the Haunted Castle was they now had bumper cars and at night sometimes they would go on their own. Ok, maybe an electric glitch right?
It really would happen on the OFF SEASON ....when NO POWER ...was hooked to that ride. What is there now I don't know cause I don't live in N.J. now. I hope they all have found peace.
Crazy timing. The same day you posted this, a man in Utah died as a result of falling from the Skyride at the Lagoon amusement park. It's not a rollercoaster per se, as it is more like a chairlift that brings people from one part of the park to another. Still, falling 50 feet and dying from the resulting injuries is not what most people have in mind when going to an amusement park.
Most people aren't dumb.enough to pull it off
I love when they put decimal points in death rates, I know it's just the average but still I laugh Everytime someone's half dies😂
Well who's gonna tell u their experience after they die then, foolio? Addicts...?
Another way: be born in Afghanistan I hope my fellow humans are safe humanity has really stooped below the meter.
That's rough buddy
2:52 I didn't know Ed liked roller coasters.
As someone who has been on more than 500 unique coasts in 11 countries, don't let this video scare you. Accidents at major theme parks are incredibly rare and getting rarer as safety standards continue to rise. (And most rides in this video are not roller coasters). And while I normally love this channel, the Battersea accident was written completely wrong. The lift cable snapped and the train rolled backwards down the lift and through the station, where the operator tried slowing the train with the manual brake system (the coaster was old and didn't have more modern safety features). It didn't derail until after passing through the station and taking a curve too fast, and backwards.
The Alton Towers disaster! I remember hearing about this all in the news. (Btw the way, "Alton" is pronounced "Oll-ton", but our pronunciations are odd -- don't ask how we pronounce "Frome").
How do you pronounce Frome
This is absolutely one of the best channels on UA-cam. Congrats to everyone involved.👍🏾👍🏾
Infographics, please state the safety precautions because you make coasters sound like you're going to die on any coaster.
This stuff happens, but parks try their best to maintain rides, especially in bigger parks and more developed countries. Rides have to be tested EXTENSIVELY for them to be signed off by manufacturers that make the rides.
Listen to what the park says. Don't ignore what they say, because it could end badly.
Also waterslided can safely go at 70mph, but it's what you do with that speed that matters.
I almost fell of a coaster at six flags because my seat belt came undone. I had to lock my arms around the bars it was terrifying and I was like 9
I've had nightmares about that...
A channel fully for weird or interesting deaths/Survival stories is a good idea. Mister ballen cornered that market tbf but still space. In the perfect world you guys would work together and give him some of your animation work in return for something fair. But i doubt that could ever hap[pen.
I absolutely love Mr Ballen. He's one of my top 3 favorites for a looong time. His videos are phenomenal (albeit not always 100% accurate), but I wouldn't really say he cornered the market. There are a lot of other UA-camrs that have a "cult following" that do longer, more detailed videos. I'm not putting him down by any means(he's one of the only one's I watch *immediately* after posting) I'm just putting it out there that it's a hard market to corner. But he absolutely shares a room 😂
That chapter also a keeper. He knows how to tell a good yarn and usually something pretty quirky in his vids
Why should they? I'm sure these were here before him.
(About the river-rapids one in Australia) I remember waking up 5 years ago and listening to the news to find out a ride had carked it and a couple people died.
Just like driving on a freeway or taking off in a plane, I seem to always think about a Final Destination movie when I think about roller coasters
I live in Kansas City and when that boy got decapitated by the water slide, that was the talk of the city for a long time.
Crazy this was uploaded right after the Top Thrill Dragster incident.
What?
These channels generally have no issue with capitalizing on recent events
Oh dam, I remember that last one… It was all over the news here in the US a while back, definitely a big reason for amusement park safety requirements these days.
My grandmother never had a problem with us riding roller coasters or other amusement park rides except for the swings. She and a sister told the story of when they went to a fair in rural Texas in the late 1920s. A chain broke and flung a person into a booth where they were decapitated. I always hoped it was untrue.
I built a ferris wheel once and took it to a carnival. It had one small problem. The seats didnt swivel. People were falling out when their seat neared the top. This was bad for business. I had to think fast. So I quickly sketched up a sign.
"Ride the 100 ft tall "TUMBLE DRY", Only $2 a ride. Land in a seat on your way down and your 2nd ride is FREE!"
Chance SkyDiver is a real ride with a similar concept (although no falling out of seats)
Driving kills over 1500 per year so driving there is actually more dangerous than the rollercoaster
Thank you for educating the GP
True, but I think the height & speed scare people. Cars aren’t usually going 100 mph!
@@pinkcashmeres most coasters don’t go 100mph what
As a Kansas City native I do remember the water slide accident and it was horrible I prayed for the kids brother who was with him when it happened
imagine your going on a ride where you go upside down and you cant buckle and the guy doesnt go to check on you and you are just like "oh no"
If you can't buckle. Why would you go on?
The last operating amusement park in West Virginia, Camden Park, is a short car ride from my house. Since it has been open since 1903 and has some of the smaller original attractions, there have been deaths and severe injuries. One of the rides, called the Spider, was permanently closed after one of the arms snapped while in operation. One man died while two others were critically injured. In another incident, the bumper cars burst into flame after a vent became electrified and blew sparks into a nylon curtain. No one died, but several were treated for smoke inhalation. It's become a sort of gallows joke around here that if Camden Park gets rid of it, there's no saving the thing.
Just an FYI, it's pronounced OLTON not ALTON Towers.
Signed: Someone who not only lives in the UK but has been to the theme park.
As someone who lives in the UK, I remember the first story very well. I've not been on a rollercoaster for 10 years, and that story partly added to the reason.
I remember my sister broke her jaw when a small bird hit her in the face she still has problems with it to this this day (this was about 20 years ago) I can’t imagine dying on a ride or seeing that happen to someone
I love the offscreen explosion of the roller-coaster carts...
I was supposed to go to the water park that the little boy died at in the last story that next day. I was so excited because I had never been. And then that same day the incident happened my family and I heard about it on the news and we all just fell silent. It was so chilling and I felt so sad for the little boy but very lucky that I had not gone a day earlier and saw any of that happen or was him for that matter.

Some metal roller coaster part fell off a coaster at Cedar point a few days ago and hit a lady in the head.🎢🎢🎢

How can there be 4.5 ride deaths, someone only died half way? 🤣🤚

It’s the average per year
It’s like the phrase “2 and a half kids”, where I can only imagine a 3rd child being severed in half and crawling in anguish.
Thank you Infographics Show for my recurring nightmare:)
As a kid I was always too chicken to ride big rides and roller coasters ETC. And honestly, I'm not upset by that. The thrill you get from a roller coaster can be achieved by simply passing a car in the oncoming lane. lol
Yeah I'll just pass on rides.
To be fair, you are much, much more likely to die in a car crash than on a roller coaster.
@@stevenakins9388 You're not wrong. But for what it's worth, I feel safer driving a car because at least I'm in control. Well mostly.
The refresh of the videos was definitely worth it
I watch videos like this so much i know most of these
can you guys do more videos on like ancient greece/rome? like the fire that burnt the library of alexandria or something plz
Just wanted to let everyone know that rollercoasters are completely safe! Any accident that happens on them is always the fault of the guest or operator. And accidents are extremely rare anyways. You have a 1 in 750 million chance of dying on a coaster
That's like like saying cars are safe. When safety comes into play, there's a limit to trust.
Haha no thank you, still don't like them

Battersea Park isn't a theme park. It's literally a large park in London. It just happened to have a funfair in it and a Rollercoaster.
The worst way to die for me would be drowning… just thinking about it makes me shiver!!!
This summer in Alberta three people were mauled to death by bears. One woman by a grizzly, another woman by a Black bear, and a man by a grizzly. I cannot think of a worse way for a woman to die than being mauled by a bear. By the way I know one of the three people killed in the Mindbender rollercoaster accident at West Edmonton Mall in June, 1986. He and his dead fiancee were to be married in a month.

I never was fond of rollercoasters. I rode one at Six Flags in South Carolina once when I was a kid, and I do not remember liking it that much. Just thinking about being on a rollercoaster makes my stomach drop and heart race. If you love rollercoasters, I would suggest going to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio to ride the Dragster and the Wicked Twister.
This is why I scream my head off on coasters and rides like it's my last day on earth.🤷🏾♀️
